Chapter 25

The real war

“How many of our fighters are dead.” inquired the King.

“A thousand and forty my Lord.” said Mystcot.

“And theirs.”

“All. None are alive except those who could apparate away before Leofin’s strike. The army is still stationed there for if another attack comes.”

“We will see.”

“And you are supposed to be the delmany Warrymn Ivan.” said Leofin in front of Caddernod and Colson, after the King had left. Just then the King returned having talked to Mystcot.

“It is true Ivan. Accept with full heart.” said Caddernod.

“But my grandma, how can she be dead.”

“She lived much long for her age.” said Caddernod.

Leofin took over the sword of delmany Warrymn which was given to him by the grandmother. He handed it to Ivan who accepted it readily. A Green light burst out and out of it appeared Ivan’s grandmother’s face.

It said, “Rise the delmany Warrymn of Humans, Ivan.” sand it disappeared.

A drop of tear fell from Ivan’s eye. Ivan of usual practice put his sword over his belt where his blade was sheathed. The blade and the sword merged and the sword and the blade became one.

Ivan rose to the ground and met Leofin’s eye, which said a lot of gratitude unexplained unexplainable by words.

The King approached saying, “Serfera is still out there.”

“Yes, I sense her presence.” said Leofin.

Mystcot came running to the King, gasping for puffs of air. Leofin greeted his master, bowed down to his knees and said, “Thank you master for training me.”

“Oh great Leofin, but my Lord you should see this.”

The King and the others approached the Balcony which was made so to see the wars being fought. The King could not believe his eyes. In front of him, his army was losing the war against some beings which were not beings at all.

Caddernod said, “I sense these beings are present throughout the realm and many among us are fighting them.”

Leofin took his sword and pointed to the sky, a ball of light shone through the realm. Whatever the shape the spectral beings had been in, their skin burned. They just vanished from there.

“I wish they may not return.” said Leofin.

“It is about these beings that I came to discuss. They are not gone yet, they are not gone yet, they are returning and fighting.” said Colson.

The King smashed his hands against the walls because he had failed like this before also.

“Maybe you should find the source.” The dimensioner appeared in front of them and stood there saying, “Yes, you should find the source and you three, Severus, Colson and Leofin should together destroy it.”

“And where might be the source?” asked Colson.

“As always the informer is arriving.”

Out of a portal stepped Amnophia and the portal was closed by the dimensioner which was opened by someone else. Colson ran towards Amnophia and hugged here with motherly affection though this was not common among the elves.

Amnophia said, “I know where the Lady of Chaos is. She asked me to bring the sword of Leofin.”

“Finally we know where she is.” said the Dimensioner.

“But she didn’t tell anything.” said Leofin.

“But her state of being and her eyes tell the location.”

The King came forwards and said, “The realm is in peril. I need some help.”

“Well well Severus, these beings that fight you are from of many dimensions and hold power over beings like you of a particular dimension. But they can’t come into a realm and survive without a connection from the inside and that is the person you going to fight Serfera who paired up with the Leptecotor, the real person trying to destroy all the realms. The Great War will be fought between us but he is churning the realm now itself. Give me your crown.”

The King removed his crown from his head and handed it to the dimensioner. The dimensioner poured a liquid from a veil and the crown glowed. Then he took the gem of Amnophia and spoke a word of command and it diminished slightly and later the sword of Leofin and shed a drop of his blood on it.

“Now this will be enough to empower the whole realm against these spectral beings but you must hurry before they empower the realm.”

“Wait! How did Amnophia come alive?” asked Caddernod.

“Of course it’s known to us. The Lady of Chaos has arranged a trap and now there is no other option than to fight in the trap and defeat her.”

“Aren’t you coming Dimensioner.” asked the King.

“No Severus. I have to attend many more dimensions, thousands of realm, time warps and multiple realties. You should go on your own.”

The dimensioner went to Amnophia and said, “I have something to talk to you, alone.”

Leofin said for all of the three, “We are ready for the fight.”

“Newborns are always powerful Leofin.” said the Dimensioner. He continued, “It would be better if you take over the lead because the King grants diplomacy and maintains peace and justice, the Gemnistra among gemnet is considered common among her own clan but it is she who maintains the growth of the beings of the realm, that is their growth of life, and you warren Warrymn to protect the realm from all the evils.”

A portal appeared and Leofin jumped into it, so did Colson and the King.

The dimensioner took Amnophia to another side and then said, “I have a job for you.”

The Dimensioner moved his hand forward and in it was a gem purple in colour, its energy drawing towards Amnophia.
